If you're not prepared, air travel can be overwhelming. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a pleasant start to your time in Daejeon. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Flying can be a pleasure if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, your important medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and pick shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to slip on and off.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.
